ZERO IMPACT

I don't think there's necessarily zero impact. I think the people that want to stay in the Hobby, will do so, just go more into the vintage side of things once the modern market falls flat. I think we see vintage, stagnate for a small while. I do agree I certainly don't think the value of it goes down. But I think for the next few years, outside of the Cobbs, Ruths, and Mantles of the world, I can't see it climbing much higher. But I of course could be wrong.

I wish more of my friends collected! Very few do. Though I have one, that loves the memorabilia side of the game!
